I'm surprised that there's hasn't been more about this. It was in the solicitations for September 2011

Ultimate Comics X-Men #1

• Written by Nick Spencer
• Penciled by Paco Medina
• Cover by KAARE ANDREWS (POLYBAGGED)
• Variant Cover by Paco Medina

The biggest mutant cover-up has gone public as the true history of the x-gene is revealed. As an identity crisis rocks the mutant world, the mistrust between man and x-man gets deeper. But a bigger question remains: who are the X-Men? Nick Spencer and Paco Medina make their thunderous Ultimate debut in one of the most anticipated series yet!

32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

There's a staggering array of familiar faces who are still alive after the Ultimatum. But it looks like we have Jimmy Hudson inheriting his father's role of Wolverine (I quite like the old skool whiskers painted on the mask). But the variant cover has a mysterious figure clad in a red hooded coat.

What do you think?

nice. MORE X titles too look forward too. 
 
Is that Sunfire btw?

I think it is Shadowcat in her Shroud identity. Not really sure though.

@Kallarkz: Well, an Ultimate title... I don't tend to count them ;)

@ComicMan24: You can probably tell that I don't know much about the Ultimate line... I didn't know that Kitty had a Shroud identity, but it kinda makes sense as she's in the other cover but is mysteriously absent from the variant.

I'm going to check this title out along with the other Ultimate titles coming out. Ulitmate X was meh to me due to the delays. I'm guessing because of what went on in Death of Spider-Man, Johnny and Bobby are forced to be on the run along. I'm kind of surprised that Johnny is joining up when he could go join back with Sue and Ben.

I like the idea of human torch with the xmen. And I like Jim Hudson's wolvie costume.

Wow this looks awesome.  I don't even collect any Ultimate titles but now its tempting...

I'm excited

Havoc isn't dead in the Ultimate universe...can we please have him here...please? I miss him...

I never really got into the Ultimate X-Men? 
 
Is it a different Universe or what is it? 

Meh, I didn't think the Ultimate X-Men were all that good the first time around, and very little makes me think this will be any better.

Definitely picking this up. 
 
THUNDER Agents was pretty rad. 
 
Curious as to whether Quicksilver will be part of the team...seeing as how he killed Cyclops and all.

who is the red guy above wolvies son

Is that Quicksilver? he looks like Osiris 

I'll start caring when Cyclops comes back to life, until then; I won't be reading,

I can't think of any other three-clawed mutants who'd want to be Wolverine :)

Yep, the Ultimate Universe, Earth-1610.

I've been told that it's 'Shroud', an alternate identity for Kitty.

excited about this....don't really care for Kaare Andrews' cover though

sooooooo....i take it the Ultimate X title just never got finished? I've been out of the loop. I hope that's Sunfire....would be kinda weird to have the Human Torch as an X-Man

Even though I've never really been a fan of the Ultimates, I have to admit that does look rather good.

Nobody pay attention to the variant! The real deal is the other cover.... WANT *drools*

Just to clear things up the person in the red jacket is 100% Kitty Pryde in her shroud identity that she adopted in the pages of ultimet spider-man, the new Wolverine is Jimmy Hudson the son of Wolverine he was in Ultimate X.
 
Hopfully thats Johnny Storm on the cover really dig that him and Bobby are friends and living with Peter, both of them will probably join up with this new X-team after the death of Spider-man story going on at the moment. 
 and any one else think that Kitty is drawn alot like Ellen Page on the Andrews cover?

Nice :D

That is one nice cover.

Lets see the X-Men should be Rogue, Iceman, Kitty Pryde or Shroud or whatever whe's calling herself these days, Jimmy as Wolvie, Colossus, Jean Grey or that other identity she has, and another maybe FIRESTAR!

Human Torch or something?

I dont like the idea of Johnny being on the team

@TheIncredibleNightcrawler1999: yeah that and I dont like seeing pete's gang almost appearing all over ultimate comics now

So what happened with Ultimates, with wolverine's son, jean, and the blob's daughter???  Did they just stop that series?

Its sad that most iconic x-men characters are dead now.....  o well Kitty's still alive :)

lol i want x-men not Pete's friends.
Seriously give me Jean, Storm, Colossus, Firestar and Derek over this anyday
 
Oh and Jimmy looks ridiculous in the Ultimate Verse.

@FadeToBlackBolt: I feel the same way. Here's hoping the Quicksilver gets his just desserts. Hopefully we at least are given that much!

I wished they would focus on the Ultimate X characters more, I'm more interested in Jimmy, The Guardian, Jean Grey and Liz Allen than the left overs from X-Men

oh man this looks good

This will be my first time ever reading ultimate x-men(or any ultimate title) so let the games begin lol

yeah its kitty as Shroud. wth is Johnny doing there? and Quicksilver? of all people!?!?!

I know, I thought Quicksilver shot Cyclops?

@EnSabahNurX: Ultimate X-Men is better than Uncanny... atleast to me.
